NRA. Support Or Not?

[taliv]

sure, it would be much easier to rebuild from the inside. all that needs to happen is for wayne to step aside. maybe, instead of protesting in DC, we need to start by rioting at wayne's house.

once he's gone, we could turn the recruiting effort around and in a few months be twice as big as we ever were.

but until then, GOA, SAF, VCDL and state orgs

Imagine the NRA again sponsoring High School Rifle Teams.

I've switched all my support dollars to National Association for Gun Rights (NAGR), RMGO, GOA, and ASA. Once the NRA get's itself straightened out, I'll consider giving to them again, but as of right now they seem to have forgotten where they come from why they even exist.

The NRA wasn't started to protect the 2nd Amendment, but to train shooters due to the poor marksmanship of the Union Army during the 1860's.

The 2nd Amendment protection really didn't kick in until Neal Knox who(based on a few snippets I have seen) doesn't seem to be exactly thought of fondly by the heads now.

Wayne didn't corrupt the org overnight and turning it around is gonna be a chessgame 1-2 BOD seats at a time. https://www.savethe2a.org

Do YOU know who the Directors are? If you're an eligible Member (perk of Life, no need to worry about that "5 years good standing and all they have to do to reset the clock is 'lose' one payment" thing) DO you vote in the BOD election?

My personal litmus test is if the BOD is for it I'm probably against it, if the Committee endorses someone I oppose on principle, if a proposal is Member Initiative I'm generally for it and if a candidate is by Member Nomination I'm generally more favorably disposed to them.

Are Wayne's malfeasances chronicled anywhere?

Magnifying and distorting any irregularities would not be beyond the left...

Plenty of documentation on funneling money and endorsements to anti 2nd Amendment candidates.

Got out when they pound you day and night for more money. Got old dodging phone calls and junk mail right after you just renewed your membership.

For some of the younger guys here who may not have lived through this, I did.

I quit supporting them several years ago. When my 5 year membership runs out, I don't plan on reupping. All of my support goes to FPC these days. They're actually in the judicial trenches getting things done.
